POLICE, FACULTY PLAN BOMB QUERY
SMOKE OR EXPLOSIVE? Lcs Angeles Police investigator
probes the ignition mechanism of a home-made smoke flare removed from the cheerleaders stand on the south side of the Coliseum. Actual danger of the device has not yet been accurately established by police lab technicians.
By RON KIBBY
Police and SC faculty officials are conducting separate investigations today to determine if action should be taken against members of the Trojan Knights who planted a potentially dangerous bomb in the Coliseum as a prank before the UCLA game.
Yesterday morning two Knights admitted to police that they had constructed the bomb, found Tuesday, and had planted it in the Coliseum Nov. 22. The students maintain that the bomb could not possibly have created a dangerous explosion.
Two Conspirators
The two m?n identified themselves to Los Angeles University police as Dave Visel, 20, a junior, and .Neil Baizer, 21, a senior.
Visel, told police that he had constructed the bomb and that Baizer helped him plant it under the UCLA cheerleaders’ platform.
“It was just a college prank,” he said. “It couldn’t possibly have exploded. I know because I tested it.” Telephone Interview
He said he was qualified to test it because he once had majored in chemical engineering. Visel is now a history student.
When interviewed by telephone, Visel reported that the bomb was made of chemicals that anyone could purchase. And that the chemicals could not explode under the conditions he had placed them. He admitted that under other conditions the chemicals might explode, however.
“If the prank had gone off on schedule or if the
bomb had been removed, nothing would have happened,” he declared. “But because other people found it a false scare has been created.”
Lt. W. R. Porter of the University Police Station, who has charge of the police investigation, reported that police authorities still believe the bomb is "highly explosive.” He said that controlled tests will be made on the bomb either today or early next week.
“If, when all facts are gathered, there is sufficient evidence to justify a complaint, one will be made to the district attorney next week,” Lieutenant Porter said.
The Student Activities Committee met for almost two hours yesterday in an attempt to uncover the facts behind the bomb planting. Dr. Robert Gordon, acting dean of students and chairman of the committee, said that he hoped to receive the police report of the incident sometime today.
Continue Quest
Dr. Gordon stated that his fact - finding group would meet again today at 1 p.m. to resume its investigation.
“The committee's course of action cannot possibly be determined until all facts are known,” he said.
Dudley Johnson, student activities advisor, said yesterday that he had heard rumors several days before the game that Knights were planning to plant a bomb in the UCLA rooting section.
He stated that he questioned the Knights on their plans and told them they should not go through with the scheme. Johnson claimed that on the Friday be-
foue the game he was told by members of the Knights that the stunt would not be carried out.
'“The first indication that the stunt had been attempted,” he said, “was the SC yell ‘UCLA goes up in
smoke’.”
Johnson stated that on the Monday following the game, the Knights told him the bomb had been placed under the cheerleaders’ platform .“At that time I advised them to remove it. And the next day they assured me it had been removed.” he said.
Cigar Box
Visel declared that the Knights made five attempts to get the bomb but that each time they failed.
The bomb contained two pounds of explosives easily acquired by chemists, police said. The explosives were contained in a cigar box. placed in the middle of a cardboard carton measuring 16 by 12 inches.
A circular hole had been cut in the carton to an alarm clock. Wires ran from the alarm signal to a four-cell battery generating six volts. Other wires ran to two photo flash bulbs nestled against the explosive mixture.
Alarm Clock
When the alarm reached 2 p.m. it closed a circuit and the bulbs fired, generating intense heat which should have fired the explosives, but didn't.
Byron H. Atkinson, UCLA dean df students, reportedly reacted to the bomb discovery by commenting “This is utterly unique in my 15 years here . . . to see the rivalry between our schools degenerate into anything as stupid and potentially murderous as this.”
